1. The Characteristics of a Thoroughbred Horse
At most race courses around the world, you would find the Thoroughbred horse leading the pack. They have been in vogue right from the seventeenth century and throughout Europe, and until now are very popular. It was during the mid 17th century when the English bred the Thoroughbred horses, say experts, with the Arabian Stallions that were imported. The Thoroughbred horse breed is bought and sold for usually large amounts of money.
Typically you will find that a Thoroughbred horse on average usually stands around sixteen hands in height. You would find them in colors such as brown, bay, black, chestnut, gray, and even in roan. The lower legs and the face of the Thoroughbred horse could have white markings as well, but very rarely would those markings be seen on the Thoroughbred horse’s body. Once again, it all depends on the genes of the Thoroughbred horse.
It is only when a horse is witnessed being conceived live, would it then attain the registration and status of being a Thoroughbred horse. One would have to watch the mating of a stallion and an English mare, no artificial insemination would be allowed to register the horse as a Thoroughbred Horse.
This was because in those early days, DNA testing wasn’t developed and hence the parentage of the Thoroughbred horse couldn’t be verified, and the practice still stands strong even today. However, due to economical reasons, Arabian stallions are given only a certain number of English mares to mate with, hence live coverage is not possible always, say experts.
A Thoroughbred Horse should be athletic and ready to get into the competitive mode at the drop of a hat. Take a close look at the Thoroughbred horse and you would notice its body to be lean and long. The muscles are flat and the shoulders slope, the Thoroughbred horse stands on long legs as well, so don’t miss out on that feature.
The Thoroughbred horse has a long and refined head, with alert eyes and a coat which is very fine. The coat is thin and the skin of the Thoroughbred horse is very sensitive. The breed has ears which are not too long or short, and would always be curved.
The Thoroughbred horse’s hind quarters would always be highly developed and very muscular. Every inch of its hind quarters would speak of power, it is as what the experts call the engine
on the Thoroughbred horse, which helps it race and compete.
The temperament of the Thoroughbred Horse is fiery and bold. If you are a beginner at riding you may not want to start with a Thoroughbred horse. The breed can be very aggressive and sometimes mean, but that is normal for them to behave that way, especially when the conditions around them might be tight and controlled. The Thoroughbred horse is bold, adventurous, lively and highly intelligent as well.
